    Incredible album! We know a real Selena, many times before no shine for has a little bit of freedom. But right now Selena is stronger, bigger and smarter. A real queen inside of 13 tracks. Sounds fun, independent, smart and clean.

    This album is soooo good. Definitely her best album. This is different from anything we’ve heard from her before. This album really doesn’t have a single skip. THIS IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE I’M SO PROUD OF SELENA!

    This album is simply incredible. It is so diverse but coherent at the same time. those saying it sounds the same only think that because she uses a soft voice when singing.

    she’s a bad liar for keeping this away from the public for so long. it might sound faster to some but i believe that’s because it’s been suck a long time since we’ve heard selena do her own stuff

    Very sonically cohesive, fun and honest. Although some songs are better than others, there’s not a single bad song. No skips. It’s the most accomplished and cohesive pop album since Taylor Swift’s 1989

    Альбом Rare - именно то, в чем я нуждалась в этот период времени. С каждым прослушиванием люблю его ещё больше. Каждая песня раскрывает один из моментов жизни Селены, и я рада, что она поделилась со всем, что происходило с ней, в период отсутствия в социальных сетях. Теперь я точно стала ближе к ней... буквально прочувствовав каждую строчку.Альбом Rare - именно то, в чем я нуждалась в этот период времени. С каждым прослушиванием люблю его ещё больше.

    I’m so proud of Selena. She’s grown up so much and this album shows it. Such a new vibe that matches perfectly with her voice. Plus the collaborations are SO good. An amazing come back after a 4-year-hiatus.

At this time this album has went number #1 on iTunes, in 70 different countries, which means that this album has went number 1 in more countries, than the album 'Thank You Next', by Ariana Grande did, meaning that only one of Ariana's albums sold in more countries.

She is also breaking many other records. Selena's song making and writing talents have grown, her voice has improved some as well, and it shows in this album. A tiny bit of Ariana's fans underestimated Selena's ability to sell, to make and to sing music. One does not need a powerful voice to sound great singing, or to please people with music. Not that Ariana uses her voice to it's full potential a lot of the time anyway, and her fan's still love hearing her sing regardless! Selena put 4 years of very hard work in to this album as well, she has even signed 20,000 to 30,000 autographed cd booklets for this album, she treats all of her fans like they are special, she has earned a lot of respect, more respect than some people will ever be willing to give her!… Expand

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
